How are prominences and solarflares alike and different?

Answer 1

Oversimplified analogy: the solar wind is a near continuous fairly gentle outflow of gas from the sun in all directions, a solar flare is a giant hurricane force gust blown suddenly away from the sun in one single direction.

Answer 2

Prominences and solar flares are both solar phenomena that occur on the Sun's surface. Prominences are large loops of gas that extend outwards from the Sun's surface and are more stable and long-lasting, while solar flares are sudden and intense bursts of energy that release a large amount of radiation into space. Solar flares can impact Earth's magnetic field and cause disruptions to communication and navigation systems, whereas prominences are mainly observational features that do not directly affect Earth.

Answer 3

There is no difference between solar flares and sun flares, although "solar flare" is the more correct term.

Answer 4

their both eruptions
